adjustments to operating accruals

Explanation:
you can say provision or reserve instead of accrual

you can also say "drawing down" instead of adjustments.

What it means is that they have reduced the aggregate of the company's accrual accounts that are used to accrue excess or current liabilities for such things as taxes.

--- and lower writebacks from provisions for operating (losses I am assuming)

Explanation:
Their operating margin will be lower because they are booking highER depreciation (an expense) and lower writebacks (which would qualify as revenue).
